to just say "we are going to slap in a motor" reeks of a lack of understanding how the complexities of OEM manufacturing..
meh, my homies swap in 2jzgte's on the reg.

Lol you guys joke about this, but I was talking to my neighbor who has a Supra and he actually confirmed it to be true.

Saw a Kirk Kreifels video in which he displayed a Best Car magazine with Google translate and they claim the 3.0 L turbo will remain probably as some form of hybrid and the next gen body style will also be made as a plug-in electric. I wasn't so excited at the drawing provided, it looks kinda dull compared to the current model.

Does your source know the entire car is a reskinned Z4? I don't think BMW will be happy another mfg is producing their car less the engine. The B58 is also super solid.

Magna-Steyr make all the Z4s. Also the M5. They build for Mercedes, Jaguar and Fisker too.
Kind of a backwoods Dr. Frankenstein people bring their dead relatives to.
